High-Voltage Capacitance Measurement System for SiC Power MOSFETs

Author(s)
Parrish Ralston, Tam H. Duong, Nanying Yang, David W. Berning, Colleen E. Hood, Allen R. Hefner Jr., Kathleen Meehan
Adequate modeling of a power MOSFET is dependent on accurate characterization of the inter-electrode capacitances. With the advent of high voltage silicon

MEASUREMENTS FOR MECHANICAL RELIABILITY OF THIN FILMS

Author(s)
David T. Read, Alex Volinsky
This paper reviews techniques for measurement of basic mechanical properties of thin films. Emphasis is placed on the adaptations needed to prepare, handle, and

Nanoindentation of Si Nanostructures: Buckling and Friction at Nanoscales

Author(s)
Huai Huang, Bin Li, Qiu Zhao, Zhiquan Luo, Jay Im, Min Kang, Richard A. Allen, Michael W. Cresswell, Rui Huang, Paul S. Ho
A nanoindentation system was employed to characterize mechanical properties of silicon nanolines (SiNLs), which were fabricated by an anisotropic wet etching

In the 2009 Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) challenge, a Search Pilot task has been introduced, aimed at finding all the sentences in a corpus which entail

PEG-HYDROGELS: SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND CELL ENCAPSULATION

Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, Kaushik Chatterjee, James A. Cooper, William E. Wallace, Matthew Becker, Carl G. Simon Jr., Ferenc Horkay
A simple reaction to prepare controlled molecular mass (MM) poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylates (PEGDMs) of high purity and low polydispersity is outlined

Full-Scale Residential Smoke Alarm Performance

Author(s)
Thomas G. Cleary
A series of 24 full-scale experiments were conducted in a multi-room structure to examine the effects of alarm type (photoelectric, ionization, and dual sensor)

Testing the Performance of Hydrogen Sensors

Author(s)
Nathan D. Marsh, Thomas G. Cleary
The acceptance of hydrogen as a widely-available energy source will depend to some extent on the perceived and actual safe dispensing and storage of hydrogen by

Accurate Picoscale Forces for Insitu Calibration of AFM

Author(s)
Koo-Hyun Chung, Gordon A. Shaw, Jon R. Pratt
The force sensitivity of an atomic force microscope is calibrated directly using an in situ realization of primary electrostatic forces ranging from 320 pN to 3
